Is it 60 minutes or not?
At the time of this post, the dead pilgrims are laying on the ground.
The dead NPCs are just an indicator that Xy’rath is spawning that day.
I was bumped to new shards several times waiting for him yesterday, which drops you into a new spawn timer & can consecutively go longer than the usual spawn time.
I only really noticed because the NPC Time addon shows how long the misfortunate pilgrims have been spawned for; if they go from 55 minutes old to 5 I know I got bumped.
I was waiting on this guy yesterday. He spawned and finally dropped the red sword. I wish there were two handed versions of the sword.
FINALLY DONE!
So fun fact, if you keep the sword in your bags the random assassin that spawns from it will spawn anywhere, not just Shadowlands.
You better believe that cartel has been my BFF through out Dragonflight.
